Study Notes
Activity Lifecycle and State
- The
onCreate()
method is called when the Activity is first created, for instance, when a user taps a launcher icon. -
onCreate()
is responsible for performing static setup tasks, such as creating views, binding data to lists, among others. -
onCreate()
is only called once during an Activity's lifetime. -
onCreate()
takes aBundle
object as a parameter to restore the Activity's previously frozen state, if one existed. - The
Started
state is always followed by theonStart()
state. - The
onStart()
method is called when the Activity is becoming visible to the user. -
onStart()
can be called more than once during the lifecycle. - If the Activity comes to the foreground,
onResume()
will be called afteronStart()
. - If the Activity becomes hidden,
onStop()
will be called afteronStart()
. - To restore an Activity's saved state in
onCreate()
, use aBundle
object. - Within
onCreate()
, check ifsavedInstanceState
is not null. - If
savedInstanceState
is not null, retrieve the saved data usingsavedInstanceState.getString("count")
. - Finally, update the UI using
mShowCount.setText(count)
to display the restored data.
